XPMT 040104 AH7020 — Indexable insert for drilling by Tungaloy

The XPMT040104R-DS AH7020 is an indexable‑insert solution designed for general drilling tasks, combining a fracture‑resistant PVD grade with a family of TDX drill bodies for flexible L/D and interface choices.

• PVD-coated carbide AH7020 for process security
• Designed for indexable-insert drilling systems
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Durable grade and consistent cutting performance

The drilling insert features the AH7020 PVD‑coated carbide grade, developed for wear resistance and resistance to chipping under typical drilling loads. This combination ensures a sharp cutting edge and process security, which translates into longer periods between indexing and fewer interrupted cycles. For operations where repeatability matters, the coating and substrate interplay reduces flank wear and prolongs tool life while maintaining acceptable surface quality.

Geometry engineered for chip control and surface finish

A specialised chipbreaker DS and the insert’s special plate form help to shape and evacuate chips reliably. The insert includes a cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to suit secure clamping and stable positioning on the drill body. As a result, chip flow is controlled, burr formation is minimised and component finish is improved — particularly important when switching between workpiece batches or materials.

System flexibility to match machines and applications

Belonging to the TungDrillTwisted family, the system is supplied as TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies with XPMT inserts, clamping screws and a key. The modular approach permits selection by diameter, L/D ratio, shank and insert geometry to match machine capability, workpiece material and coolant strategy. This adaptability reduces setup complexity and supports efficient changeovers across varied production runs.

Economical handling and fast serviceability

The indexable design enables rapid insert changes and consistent re‑clamping accuracy, cutting downtime and supporting cost‑effective production. The XPMT040104R-DS AH7020 insert, with its 0.4 mm corner radius and 1.59 mm plate thickness, provides a balance between strength and cutting precision, making it suitable for routine drilling where tool life and reproducible performance are priorities.

FAQ

What applications is this insert designed for?
The XPMT040104R-DS AH7020 insert is designed for general drilling tasks within the TungDrillTwisted system, allowing selection by diameter, L/D, shank and insert geometry to suit different machine and workpiece setups.

How does the AH7020 grade perform under drilling conditions?
The AH7020 grade is a PVD‑coated carbide developed for wear and chipping resistance; it offers a sharp cutting edge and enhanced process security for stable drilling operations with fewer interruptions.

Which components are included in the system supply?
The system is supplied with XPMT inserts, TDX/C‑TDX drill bodies, clamping screws and a key, enabling straightforward assembly and secure clamping on the drill body.

How should the insert size and drill body be selected?
Selection is based on desired diameter, L/D ratio, machine spindle and coolant strategy; the TungDrillTwisted family supports matching of shank, body and insert to the specific machining scenario.

Does the insert support reliable chip evacuation?
Yes, the DS chipbreaker combined with the special plate geometry and the cylindrical hole/countersink arrangement improves chip control and contributes to consistent surface finish.
